Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Chapter 179 – Ever Considered Taking Over?

It started after Leo visited the Butterfly Pavilion to meet Nabi and Tang Jiaofu to have a meeting regarding the Mercenary Union. In a way, it was a regular meeting between three founding members to talk about the direction and the future of the Union.

Leo shared the knowledge he had to help both of them know the latest development in the Capital and outside.

However, during the meeting, Tang Jiaofu had received shocking news.

"Nabi, Leo. Have you heard about the change of Murim Alliance's leadership?"

"Murim Alliance's leader has changed?" Leo asked, surprised.

Xue Wang was replaced by another person? What happened in the Capital after he left?

'Could it be the effect of us killing Torso?'

That was his only guess, but he couldn't be sure. Supreme Evil's Followers made a faster move than he had expected. They probably planned to end everything, just like him. That was why they prepared their own attack.

"Yes, it's true. According to my informant, a new leader has been appointed to the Alliance just before we held this meeting. His name is Kang Jian. He's not well-known, and no one knows where he came from. But one thing is clear... He defeated Xue Wang and stripped him of his position."

"Defeated Xue Wang?!"

This time, Nabi was the one who was surprised. She didn't expect Xue Wang to lose his position and become a loser.

Everyone knew that the Murim Alliance Leader was a powerhouse that was trying to break through 9 Stars. No one could come close to his strength and his experience.

So, how could this happen?

"Yes. Apparently, Xue Wang was caught off-guard by Kang Jian's power and technique. They fought in the mountains and he lost. The trace of the battle can still be found in the surrounding, and the Murim Alliance members are shocked."

Surely, they were. But, Leo had a strange feeling.

Something was fishy.

"I'll go and check the news."

Leo didn't have the time to ponder. He immediately contacted Sheng without thinking about how busy the Emperor was.

If what Tang Jiaofu told him was true, the Murim Alliance was going to make a move soon. They couldn't waste time.

The communication device connected him with the Emperor, and Sheng's voice echoed in his ear.

"I believe you've heard about what happened and contacted me."

"Yes, Your Majesty. About that..."

"Everything is true. All my preparation is for naught. This is a great blow to our plan. But, we still have a chance." The Emperor said, "The Murim Alliance's movement has been disrupted. They lost their leader and are currently in a chaotic state. The members aren't in a hurry to accept the new leader, and there are rumors of rebellion."

A rebellion.

Sweet words in Leo's ear. He could use this chance to strike. Annexing the members into the Mercenary Union would be the best course of action. They could grow in strength while eliminating their enemies.

"Your Majesty, may I propose a plan?"

"Go ahead, Leo. Tell me what you have in mind."

Being the Hao Sect's master wasn't bad. Leo had his own goal and vision. He didn't know what kind of person he was in this world, but he didn't think it would hurt.

After all, his life was filled with adventure and excitement.

And the only reason stopping him from agreeing to Nabi's proposal so easily was... to tease her. She pushed her body against him, her cleavage pressed against his chest. Her sweet perfume entered his nose, and her body was hot.

"You're playing with fire."

He didn't respond, only grinning.

The naughty adventure in the Capital had lowered his aversion to sexual desire. And, he was a bit curious.

"Am I? I thought you were a lightning, not fire."

"Hmm, you're right."

She smirked, and her finger moved toward his lips, her touch light and gentle.

"You are a very interesting man, Leo. I'm glad we've become allies."

"Me too."

After that, they parted ways. Nabi returned to her Butterfly Pavilion, and Leo headed to his base. He didn't continue the conversation, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

He needed to focus on the counterattack. Read new adventures at empire

After his arrival at the base, he immediately finds Wandering Sword Saint to tell him about the news regarding Xue Wang. Among other people, Xiao Ah Tian was looking forward to the fight the most.

"You mean, he's gone? Who's the new leader?"

"His name is Kang Jian. Not many people know about him, but apparently, he has defeated the Alliance Leader and took control of the group. Hao Sect is currently investigating his background and the possible connection he has with the Alliance."

"Interesting."

Betraying Leo's expectation of his reaction, the Wandering Sword Saint grinned widely. His hand holding the sword handle was trembling in excitement.

"If this Kang Jian fellow could defeat Xue Wang, doesn't that mean he's stronger? I can't wait to meet him!"

"Are you sure?" Leo frowned, "Are you not disappointed?"

"Hah! Foolish question. I've been looking forward to fighting strong people, not Xue Wang himself. Just in the past, that guy is the known strongest, and I was a little sad about not having a chance to face him. But now, there's someone better."

The Wandering Sword Saint was like a kid who just received a new toy.

"Someone who defeated the strongest. Doesn't that mean he's the real strongest?! Oh, I can't wait to find out."

"Hmm, I hope you get the chance to test his strength."

"Oh, I will. Mark my words. I will defeat him and prove my strength. And you will help me set the stage for that."

"Don't worry about it."

Leo was a bit worried, but he didn't show it on his face. He didn't know about the new Alliance Leader, and there was no information about him in the novel.

But he could leave him to Wandering Sword Saint. Surely, the old man would have a good time fighting him, and Leo could gather data from the battle.
